Ok, I found out the draw backs of just bolten up the S-10 springs. Now I am not going to reinvent the wheel. I am now going to just follow the steps that Timmay laid out in this article and cut the S-10's and bolt them up to the XJ main leaf...
Phager, That S-10 spring right up from Timmay is a great one. That is what I used as a basis to start this whole rear spring project. It just looks like I can bolt the S-10 spring in as it is. I have not got that far yet though. Work is getting in the way.
I did the F150 coil spring conversion awhile ago. I could not take it any longer and have just replaced them with some RE 3' springs. I hope that gets a little ride quality back, talk about stiff and firm. I also had installed 2 1/2" lift blocks in the rear and now that's what I am getting rid...
I did measure the springs eye to eye. The S-10 springs are 3/4" shorter. I thought they might even out when I bolted the rearend up and then jacked it up alittle. I will have to trim the bushing a little to get them to fit up into the shackle, but it sure looks like they will fit.
I have read the threads about cutting and using the rear springs off of a s-10 and adding them to the main leaf of a XJ. But why can I not just bolt up the s-10 leaf as it is without cutting and adding it to the main leaf? Will this not give me any lift? Maybe it would have a better ride this...
Well the light bulb finally turned on. Got it done, new switch and key but same problem. Going after the relay next and then the starter I just replaced about 3 months ago.
Yea like I said the new switch looks just like the old one. I did not know if there was another piece that might have fallen out of the switch that might have hooked up to the rod. I am just having a brain fart.
